Boo Radley is important figure in To Kill A Mockingbird because a he was hidden away in his house for killing his dad and the question if he is still alive or not makes people wonder about what happened to him. Jem, Scout, and Dill are so fascinated by him because he was put in his house for years upon years and no one has seen him. Therefore Jem, Scout, and Dill always try to renact his life and sneek in the Radleys' yard in order just to see him. This is why Boo Radley is so important to the book and why Jem, Scout, and Dill are so fascinated by him. Suzanne L.

I agree with Suzanne. Boo Radley is a figure in the book who some importance but we do not know what that importance is yet. Kevin Comas

2. Why is Boo Radley, a man who is hidden away for nearly the entire novel, such an important figure in //To Kill a Mockingbird//? Why are Jem and Scout and Dill so fascinated by him?

Boo Radley is an important figure because there isn’t much known about him and intrigues Scout, Jem, and Dill. He is also important because they spend most of there time trying to find out more about Boo and trying to get him out of his house. They are interested in him because they have heard rumors about what he “did” and want to know if it's true and learn more about him.

I agree with what Suzanne wrote about Boo being interesting and gathering the attention of the kids. (Thomas K.)

Boo Radley is one of the more interesting characters like Susan said. Boo Radley attracts the attention of most people and he is what provokes the kids to do many of the bad things, or things that Atticus doesn't want them to do. They are always trying to figure out what is true and what is a lie about him. He attracks alot of attnetion. Alexandra F.

Im not really sure what Suzanne is saying but this is what I have to say. Boo is the most fascinating charector and is hidden for a reason, and I believe that the reason is suspense. The author wants the reader to come up with ideas and fantasize what his roll will be later on in the story. (She makes him mysterious.) Scout, Jem and **dill** are all fascinated with boo for the same reason you are(if YOU READ THE BOOK),because all they really know is that he exists but they don’t know why he is the way he is or what’s his involvement in there lives.(or the story) OCCH

Boo Radley is one of the most impotant figure in the novel because as Alex said, readers pay more attention to him, and Scount, Jem, and Dill are trying to find out who Boo Radley is. At the beginnig of the story, Boo Radley was just an imagination, but toward the middle of the story, they realized that Boo Radley really exist. They are so facinated by him because people do not see him for a many years. Scount, Jem, and Dill are tryubg to figure out what he looks like, and what true abot him. They spend most of the time playing a life of Boo Radley. They want to learn and know more about him. Rika O.

Boo Radley is an important character in __To Kill a Mocking Bird__, because everyone tries to figure out information about him. During summer Scout, Jem, and Dill acted out Boo’s life. They became interested in him; they started to play “Boo Radley”. This is when they try to make Boo come out of the house. They dared eachother, by touching the house. He did not come out from his house for years because he got in trouble with the law. The kids heard rumors about Boo, and thinks they are all true. They think he is a creepy, crazy man. I agree with Alex, how Boo attracts a lot of attentions. If Boo was not in this novel, it would not be as interesting. //Naomasa M.//

Boo Radley is an important figure in //To Kill a Mockingbird// because as Suzanne said, he is an interesting character. He is being interesting and gathering attentions of the children. Jem and Scout and Dill are so facinated by him because they want to know about Boo Radley. Mizuki O.

2) Why is Boo Radley, a man who is hidden away for nearly the entire novel, such an important figure in //To Kill a Mockingbird//? Why are Jem and Scout and Dill so fascinated by him? Reply- I think Boo Radley is such an important character because he is the cause for the imagination between Scout, Jem and Dill. Also he represents the fact how people stereotype others and how rumors go around and show a bad image. He also is the cause of the reason that Jem, Scout, and Dill play "Boo Radley" because they are curious about his life and what he looks like as well. -Kevin K I agree with Naomasa because he is correct about how everyone tries to find out information about him so they re-enact his life to see what he is like since no one see's him outside his house. -Kevin K

Boo Radley is a hidden character. The audience does not know much about him yet. But i think soon to come we will. He will play a major role in the turnout of the book. He will end up being a main character. -Nicky M

I agree with Naomasa because the other characters try to find out about him by using a reanactment of his life. -Nicky M
